We are working with a leading Food manufacturer to find a Senior Process Technologist who can take new products from development handover all the way through to a successful factory launch.
This is a role for someone who loves the practical side of NPD trials, scale-up, problem-solving and launch delivery within culinary-led, high-growth chilled categories. You'll be the link between the development kitchen and the factory floor, making sure great ideas become products that can actually be made brilliantly, consistently and on time.
Running exploratory or factory trials and pre-production runs. Reviewing trial data and making recommendations on next steps. Working through critical paths to keep retailer launch deadlines on track. Sitting down with Production to iron out scale-up challenges before launch week. Speaking directly with customers on live projects. Spotting a process improvement that saves time, reduces waste or lifts quality and making it happen.
You'll report into the Site NPD Manager, work alongside a supportive development team and manage one direct report of your own. For the right person, there's genuine scope to grow the role taking on greater ownership of retailer-facing projects and stepping further into project leadership.
You'll be an experienced NPD professional from a food manufacturing background, ideally with:
• A strong track record running factory trials and managing launches through critical paths
• Hands-on experience working with production teams in live factory environments
• People management experience
• Confidence interpreting trial data and making evidence-based decisions
• Good commercial awareness and a solid understanding of factory capability
• Great communication skills with both internal teams and retail customers
A permanent role with a major food business, working on innovative and growing chilled ranges. Real visibility this is a hands-on environment where your contribution is seen and valued. Direct retailer exposure, a passionate team around you and a competitive salary to match.
Please note: Sponsorship is unfortunately not available for this role.
